Course Facilitator

Maria-Rosario Rebolledo, D.O.

Osteopath in long-term clinical practice and developer of the Practice Reorientation framework.

I am an osteopath in long-term clinical practice.

My training began at the Collège d’études ostéopathiques in Montréal, where I completed my osteopathy degree and defended a thesis on the foundations of osteopathic practice and the process of tissue release. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Anatomy from McGill University, which continues to inform the way I understand structure, adaptation, and function in the living body.

Over the years, my practice has included adults of all ages, athletes, and older patients, supporting a wide range of situations — from postural strain and sports-related injury to convalescence and rehabilitation. Like many practitioners, I was trained extensively in how to treat, listen, and adapt clinically.

What was less clearly taught was how to build a clinic that could hold this work over time.

Through experience, ongoing education in Canada and the United States, and periods of questioning my own way of practicing, I came to see that clinical quality alone does not guarantee sustainability. Time, boundaries, visibility, and continuity of care quietly shape the practitioner as much as technique shapes the patient.

Practice Reorientation emerged from this realization.

The work I facilitate is not about teaching osteopaths how to practice better, but about helping them look at their clinic as a living structure — one that can either drain effort or support it. The intention is to realign practice so that care can continue without constant strain, and so that the practitioner remains oriented, present, and available over the long term.

This work is grounded in respect for clinical competence, ethical restraint, and the reality of practice as it is lived.

This is not a sales conversation.

It is simply an opportunity to clarify whether the work is relevant for you.
